Ian,

I was not looking to require anything in demographics to be re-done. 
I just wasn't sure of anything that was *yet* to be decided in order 
to permit demographics to be completed for 0.1 and to propose that

1) nothing *get* changed that would interfere with 0.1 demographics and
2) people working on (or familiar with) demographics *identify* any 
issues not yet decided that ought to be in the classes or the schema 
etc

I was just asking about putting into greater detail on the **wiki ** 
any to-dos to get demographics 0.1 done. As the wiki is having some 
problems saving pages, especially complex pages, it seemed a 
reasonable idea (in place of *adding* the extra detail to the roadmap 
page) to move the linked info about patient demographics to its own 
page

I wasn't presuming either a personal need or entitlement to ask any 
big changes to the demographics design.
